For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult
a specialized manual.
- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-
frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24
hours) or to freeze it once again.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment,
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for
freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation
depends on the speed of freezing.
-The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is
indicated on the rating plate situated inside the refrigerator
compartment.
- When using the appliance for the first time, or after it has
been turned off, you can place food into it only after it has
been running for 6-8 hours. Then put the fresh food into the
the appropriate compartments and turn the temperature control
(A) to setting 3. Freezing will be complete after approximately
24 hours.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
How to use the freezer compartment...
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-
mended that you divide food into small portions so that they
freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly
marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tempera-
ture within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen
and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for
approximately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
- Fill ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for a long peraiod
of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures required for
storage and storage life will be shorter. In this case frozen
food should be used within a relatively short period of time.
